The six-foot-five sophomore averaged 12.4 points and 4.2 rebounds per game last season, hitting nearly 37 percent. From three-point range, he joined San Diego State Big Man Miles Hyde and Oklahoma Ford, Kuala Tocque to bolster the Hokies roster. Earlier this week, Elohim made it official after a solid run at FAU where the team finished 18 wins and 15 losses.
